The Review describes the forest management strategy and direction adopted by Sustainable Timber Tasmania to ensure a sustainable supply of high quality eucalypt sawlogs. The associated yields for other products, which include lower quality sawlogs, peeler logs, pulp logs and biofuel from eucalypt native forests and from eucalypt plantations, are also described.

Sustainable Yield Review No4 (see attachment below)

A second report is provided, which describes the yield estimate methodology used to inform the signatories to the Tasmanian Forest Agreement (TFA). This TFA yield methodology report is consistent with legislation at the time of writing, and forms the basis for the sustainable yield review described above.

TFA Yield Report (see attachment below)

The work described above has been audited independently, by Dr Mark Burgman and Dr Andrew Robinson, as part of the information gathering and consultation processes that led to the TFA. The independent auditor’s full report can be downloaded from the Australian government’s Department of the Environment website.
